A nice tucked away boulder crag 4-5m high with beginner to moderate problems on solid rock on the seaside. It's a 22 min walk from Fortescue Bay Car Park and the rock quality is best on the northern facing wall above the high water mark. The larger area is known as Sunrise Boulevard, in that there are 3main walls: Nemo Wall in the middle is the main wall with an assortment of easy to moderate problems. Starstruck Wall is above and left and contains tall striking lines such as Skyfall V3***. 50m towards Canoe Bay is another large Slabby face with tall technical problems, this is The Salty Slabs wall. All areas have good landings, the rock is reasonably solid but do take care on flakes. There is no mobile reception available here so take that in mind when risk taking.

From the Fortescue Bay Car Park, walk NW up the beach and follow the Moai walking track for 1.3km. A few hundred meters after crossing a cut out log there will be a track off to the right to get to the top of the cliff. To get down to Nemo Wall walk left and find somewhere comfortable to scramble down. To access Starstruck Ledge scramble across and pass pads across from the low end of Nemo Wall. Take extreme caution here as this is above water and washing swell! Alternatively Starstruck Ledge is approached at low tide & low swell by walking off the slab behind nemo wall and following a narrow barnical riddled ledge around the base to the wall. The Salty Slabs are accessed by walking above the wall and around to the base, or a V1 downclimb at the end closer to Nemo Wall.
This area is frequented by walkers passing by on the trail above. Do not create unnecessary disturbances such as noise and messiness. Obviously minimal impact climbing should be employed within the National Park.
